Is the first April 26 in South Carolina ? Watching candidates on the same stage at the same time enables a comparison not found elseware . From my observation Obama will have a real opportunity to advance and Clinton to decline . Other polls tend to point to the college educated higher income Democrats now support Obama while Clinton supporters are blue collar high school educated . The hurdle for Clinton is to persuade an educated group already convinced she would lose the general election to support her . With Obama , a black man , a community organizer , the exposure next to the other candidates will position himself for an easier change of minds in groups now supporting Clinton and others . The debates can make or break a campaign . Remember the recorded Nixon- Kennedy debate ? I believe more accurate poll numbers will be recorded after voters see and hear live debates .

I am no partisan of Hillary Clinton, having written an anti-Hillary book ("Hillary Clinton Nude: Naked Ambition, Hillary Clinton And America's Demise")but what is required is objective analysis of the facts on the ground. Barack Obama no doubt has been very successful in fundraising and creating a media image, however, as Howard Dean learned four years ago, triumphal campaigns require solid organization. What the media is ignoring is that Hillary Clinton, ably advised by Bill Clinton, is quietly hiring the leading political talent across the country to staff her campaign infrastructure. When the primaries are actually underway I think we will see how wrong the media got the story of the formative part of the 2008 presidential campaign.

But I am correct in saying the no one in any of those campaigns takes those polls seriously. Hillary's true position is much more precarious for the reasons I listed above. If Hillary were on the road to being coronated she would be at 55-60% in Demo polls, which would give some margin for error. Also, look at how few public officials are on her bandwagon outside of New York, where even the governor is distancing himself from her by refusing to endorse her. And Schumer hates her; I don't see him yapping in front of a TV camera for Hillary. As for Rangel, his heart is obviously with Obama if you watch him on TV. So even her home base of New York has BIG reservations about her. If you want to see progress in her campaign, then it will be when she has the OPEN and enthusiastic support of governors, senators and congressmen who are not located in New York. These folks have to run on the same ticket with Hillary and they are mortified that they might be impaled on the same spears that will be tossed at her in a general election. Again, check www.intrade.com; it is a lot more accurate than Gallop. Absolutely, I am partisan anti-Hillary.

You just don't like Hillary. Obsessively. Pointing out her lead in the polls isn't naive. It's just grating to you. Ah, Robert, I knew your stripes would come out. You just don’t like Hillary.

Hillary has spent 35 years treating people like dirt and it is all coming back to haunt her now and would should have been a cakewalk to the Demo nomination. Her campaign is almost, but not quite, in full blown panic mode. Hillary has no grassroots firepower. When you treat people like dirt, depend on fear rather than love and respect for power, people will not run through a brick wall for you. In fact, the opposite has occurred; there are a LOT of people who will do everything they can to see that Hillary is not nominated in 2008, much less let Nurse Ratched become president.
